Theory of a Computer-Aided Manufacturing setup - Part and Blank Definition

This nugget is the third in a series on the theory of creating a CAM setup. Specifically the third part showcases the ideal theoretical CAM workflow for defining the part to be machined and the blank to be machined in such an operation. The user will be shown an ideal case of typical part and blank definition, the part in this case is the A-Arm of formula student racing car. The component is use to connect the upper and lower suspension rods from the wheel hub to the cars body.
